 For
the second year in a row, the National and Mid-Pacific ICT
Centers are producing a Winter ICT Educator Conference,
January 7-8, 2010, in San Francisco.
It will feature presentations from industry sources of ICT
educational resources and from the NCICT and MPICT educator
communities on quality ICT educational practices. In this
tough economic climate, we all benefit from sharing what works
well, so the impact of good work expands beyond individual
classrooms.
Community college educators in ICT-related programs are
invited to participate in this free event, by coming to San
Francisco, joining conference sessions live over the Internet,
and/or by viewing archived presentations
later via links on our website.
 Both
mornings, we start with an opening session and keynote at a
7th floor Microsoft facility in the
Westfield Center, at 835 Market Street, by the
Powell Street BART/MUNI stations. (The Westfield Center is
a world class shopping and business complex that hosts the
west coast flagship of
Bloomingdale’s and the second-largest
Nordstrom in the U.S.)
At 10:30 each morning, we will then walk around the corner to
the
City College of San Francisco Downtown Campus, on the
corner of 4th and Mission Streets, for breakout sessions.
We’ll start around 8:30 in the morning and finish around 7pm
(including a social event) on Thursday and around 4pm Friday.
Register on-line, free!
The
program is exceptional. There will be five simultaneous
breakout sessions throughout the day.
Consistently, faculty report that people they meet and
relationships they build with peers at events like this are
extremely valuable. We expect more than 150 attendees at this
event.
However, we recognize that it is difficult to travel in this
economic climate, and to expand the event’s impact, it is
possible, for the first time, to attend some conference
sessions remotely, in real time and asynchronously. It’s not
the same as being there, but it is better than not
experiencing the event at all.
Check our website at
www.mpict.org as of the first week in January for
information on how to attend remotely or view archived
presentations.
